In the Domesday book, Twyford and Stenson are listed together. In 1796
the Trent and Mersey canal was built through the parish of Twyford on
an alignment approximating to the division between Stenson and Twyford.
The lock cottage was built in 1810. The largest building here is Stenson
House, built by Samuel Brown of Derby for Harpur-Crewe tenant Richard
Forman.

The pub was named the 'Stenson bubble' as the water, when re-entering
the canal below the lock tends to bubble from the outlet under the towpath.
